U.S. firms can download a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application from the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities �� DOC is the U.S. Government agency that approves NATO ICB applications. Please submit to the email address provided your application and supporting documentation (as attachments). If your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project at this time, please also include the following in the text of your email: � - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/email of the company employee who should receive the bid documents After approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, DOC will then know to follow up by issuing a DOE for the project. �DOC will transmit the DOE to the NATO contracting agency. � IMPORTANT DATES: Request a DOE (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit the completed one-time NATO ICB application): March 23, 2023 NCI Agency distributes the RFQ (planned): Q2 2023 Bid Closing (planned): TBD Contract Award (estimated): Q2 2023 Period of Performance: The contractor is expected to deliver the COTS training material no later than 30 days after receipt of the purchase order/contract award.
